FRESHWATER PEARLS

We use freshwater pearls, Murano, semi-precious, sterling silver, 9 carat gold and Swarovski crystal.

Mikimoto and Akoya pearls need insurance, the right clothing and so many other things. Unfortunately not everyday offers us the chance to wear them. Our freshwater pearls are sourced directly from The Orient so that we can bring you an exceptional range of colours, sizes and shapes allowing you to wear them every day and for any occasion.

SEMI PRECIOUS STONES

A selection of semi precious stones are available to accent our pearls, Swarovski and sterling silver.

MURANO

Murano is a small island just outside Venice in Italy, where master glass blowers have perfected the art of making individual beads using sterling silver or 24 carat gold foil in a range of colours and shapes. The trade has been passed on since the Roman times and Murano is the only place in the world where they are made to this quality.

The hearts are just stunning - your jewellery collection won't be complete without them!  Italians are of course renowned for their sense of style and looking at these little works of art, it's easy to see why.

SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL

Swarovski produces the best and brightest crystals. These ever popular pieces of Austrian crystal have been in the making for about 100 years.  They will add instant sparkle, the faceted surface reflects light and all colours of the spectrum which will guarantee to get your jewellery noticed!
